Painting with wool















some felt work

Summer school in Greenock


This year was a busy 3 days of feltmaking at the McLean gallery in Greenock.

12 students ...6 beginners and 6 who attended the previous years workshop and are forging ahead with felting in Greenock with their new felt group.

We covered all the basics but this time with a twist to allow the newbies time to fit in and the experienced ones o have a new slant on things ...a challenge.

As always this group were dynamic and worked so hard and so well together that they had to be forced from their tables to have the wonderful lunch laid on by the organisers.

Day 3 saw us changing room to the art gallery upstairs and mountains of textiles made their way up the stairs to the beautiful setting of the art gallery and the priceless painting made us a little more cautious with our water.

I think you will agree there was some wonderful work produced during this intense time but well worth it.
